Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MITOQUAD (Unveiling the mitochondrial role of DNA2, a human helicase-nuclease causing mtDNA deletion associated syndrome.)
Période du rapport: 2018-01-01 au 2019-12-31
The main goal of this project is to investigate the dynamic of G-quadruplexes formation in the mtDNA and the role of DNA2 in their resolution. This is a relevant question to understand whether GQs account for mtDNA deletions formation and accumulation in vivo.
